Pagano della Torre

Pagano della Torre (died 18 December 1332) was a prelate of the Milanese della Torre family, which had settled in Friuli after the Visconti drove them from Milan. He became Bishop of Padua in 1302 and Patriarch of Aquileia in 1319.

He joined the della Torre crusade against the Visconti, but was beaten at Bassignana in 1322 and Vaprio in 1324, abandoning hopes of retaking Milan. War debts forced him to sell his mitre and library, and heavy taxes pushed Istrian towns such as Rovigno and Pola to surrender to Venice. He died in 1332, soon after Pope John XXII mediated peace.
